The original Eleanor was a customized 1971 Ford Mustang featured in the 1974 film Gone in 60 Seconds and is the only Ford Mustang in history to receive a star title credit in a movie. A remake of the film released in 2000 once again featured a Ford Mustang, in this case, a Dupont Pepper Grey 1967 fastback depicted as a Shelby GT500 with a customized body kit. Three surviving vehicles used in the film were later sold to the public amid much fanfare. This beautiful 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible is a Tribute to Eleanor and done to very high standards. The motor is a freshly rebuilt 2006 Ford 351 Windsor crate engine mated to a top-loader 4-speed manual transmission and Ford 9-inch rear end. The owner reports 2,244 miles since the build. A long list of features includes JBA headers, MSD distributor and ignition wires, aluminum radiator, Wilwood disc brakes on all wheels, Heidts Mustang II independent front suspension, and 4-link coil over rear suspension. Eleanor highlights include side exhaust with correct tapered tips, Moto-Lita wood steering wheel, Bullet style side view mirror and Billet pedals. Cruise in style while enjoying sound by Apline with Polk Audio component speakers. 17 Vintage 60 style wheels with knock-offs complete this awesome package.
